Sir Paul Callaghan - StrategyNZ Mapping our future. Wow, this is simply an amazing talk for all New Zealanders who care about our future. Completely makes sense about strengthening our economy through niche markets, I’m so inspired :)
The Trons - Self playing Robot Band from Hamilton, New Zealand. This is one of the raddest things everrr.
Greg Locke writes about The Trons:
“I run a robot rock band in New Zealand called the Trons. They have been going about 3 years now and have played over 80 live shows, mainly in NZ but also including two trips to Europe. All the songs are original and all instruments are played by the robots. The robots are built mainly from junk and salvaged electronics, with a bit of hi tech stuff to make sure the timing is all OK. They play gigs like normal human bands, usually doing a 30 or 40 minute set. Audiences dance, clap, sit and watch, or sometimes even stage dive.”

Sweet Dream(Beyonce) performed by Yoari & iBand (iPhone&iPad Band). Teehee, that Korean accent is kinda cute, follow along with the lyrics:
Every night I rush to my bed
With hopes that maybe I’ll get a chance to see you
When I close my eyes I’m going out of my head
Lost in a fairytale, can you hold my hands and be my guide?
Clouds filled with stars cover the skies
And I hope it rains, you’re the perfect lullaby
What kinda dream is this?
You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don’t wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me, your love’s too good to be true
(Turn the lights on)
My guilty pleasure, I ain’t going no where
Baby long as you’re here I’ll be floating on air
‘Cause you’re my
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don’t wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)
I mention you when I say my prayers
I wrap you around all of my thoughts
Boy you’re my temporary high
I wish that when I wake up you’re there
To wrap your arms around me for real
And tell me you’ll stay by side

Color Sensitive Interactve Billboard for IBM. It’s simple, but there are so many more extensions to this concept I can think of; I like the idea of individualising a viewer’s experience of a billboard (or a work of art, for that matter).
